Pololu MPS MP6550 Single Brushed DC Motor Driver Carrier

This tiny breakout board for the MPS MP6550 motor driver offers a wide operating voltage range of 1.8 V to 22 V and can deliver a continuous 1.7 A (2.5 A peak) to a single brushed DC motor. The MP6550 has built-in current sensing and current limiting as well as protection against under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature conditions. The carrier board also adds reverse-voltage protection up to 20 V.

Features:

• H-bridge motor driver: can drive one DC motor
• Motor supply voltage: 1.8 V to 22 V
• Logic supply voltage: 1.8 V to 5 V
• Output current: up to 1.7 A continuous; operation at low motor and logic supply voltages reduces the maximum continuous output current
• Current control limits peak current to 2.5 A by default (this limit can be adjusted)
• Under-voltage lockout and protection against over-current and over-temperature
• Carrier board adds reverse-voltage protection up to 20 V
• Compact size
